The leadership of our denomination has stressed over and over again that one of the marks of a healthy and authentic church is "a passion for justice." To promote this passion and to encourage all Disciples to respond more faithfully to the Gospel's call to justice, DJAN provides a workshop to congregations, regions and ecumenical groups entitled, "Jesus, Justice, and Spirituality: The Bible and Contemporary Economic Issues."

I. Bible Study: A review of the primary biblical texts that express the theme of "biblical justice."

II. Political/Economic Analysis: A sketch of the American political economic system is proposed. Issues are discussed and various reforms are considered.

III. Strategies for change: Various strategies are suggested for local Church involvement in social change. The spirituality and formation of small justice oriented mission groups is explored.
